Why? We may be thousands of miles north of the border, but we sure do know how to serve up some good Mexican food here in the Capital Region and it’s Bombers Burrito Bar that’s doing it best. Don’t let the name fool you, the Matt Baumgartner-owned restaurant serves so much more than burritos. You’ll find plenty of non-Mexican options like wings, salads and Piggy Fries – French fries loaded with BBQ pulled pork, melted jack and cheddar cheese, chopped jalapenos and barbecue sauce. Second place El Mariachi is all about true Mexican fare, while Moe’s specializes in American-Mexican.

I agree. I don’t really think of our restaurant as legit Mexican food. We are more of a tex-mex (whatever that means) restaurant. I do loooove our burritos and tacos, but I think El Mariachi is by far a much better restaurant for authentic mexican food. Our wings and margaritas, on the other hand, I think are the best.
Thank you, Times Union for the award.

I like Bomber’s quite a bit, but as Matt graciously noted above, their food is much more of a Tex-Mex hybrid than authentic Mexican. At least I like the food there, though. But Moe’s? Wow . . . Moe’s making this list at all (or any “best of” list, for that matter) is laughable, much less it being ranked above Salsa Latina and El Loco.

I eat at bombers all the time.. It’s a fairly inexpensive and quick lunch that tastes decent, but top mexican restaurant? Hahahah, I don’t even think Matt would agree with that, and if he does his ego is bigger than I thought.

Try El Mexicano Restaurant in Saratoga Springs. I was sckeptical looking at the decor when I first went in, but the food and service are top notch, and the place is a lot of fun.
